The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is holding a Public Hearing for the State Road 417 Sanford Airport Connector Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study in Seminole County.
The Connector is being considered to help alleviate traffic on local roads (such as East Lake Mary Boulevard and Ronald Reagan Boulevard) and meet the growing demands of area residents and businesses that rely on SR 417 (Seminole Expressway), including Orlando Sanford International Airport.
Based on agency and community input – including from the January 2025 Alternatives Public Workshop and April 2025 Refined Alternatives Public Workshop – and engineering evaluations and refinements, the SR 417 Sanford Airport Connector PD&E Study has developed a Preferred Alternative for review and comment. The Preferred Alternative includes a connection between SR 417 and East Lake Mary Boulevard near Red Cleveland Boulevard that would meet the project’s purpose and need.
The Public Hearing is being held both in-person and virtually on the dates and times listed below. Both the in-person and virtual hearings will present identical information and allow for questions with the study team representatives. Please see below for details on how to participate:
